Thanks for providing the details that I was too lazy to look up myself .

A quick gander at Mobygames shows that DMA design, now known as Rockstar North, is actually responsible for all but a single game of the post GTA3 craze about Rockstar. All the GTA games and the Manhunt games were made by DMA design. If anything then it just confirms my previous point about how it is Rockstar (EA) that is reaping the rewards that DMA design (Bioware) has been responsible for.

Oh well, money talks - principles walks.
